Like many Bronco fans, I was bummed to hear that you’d be unable to buy the 2021 Bronco with the Sasquatch package and a manual transmission. Ford initially said that the Sasquatch package would only be available with a 2.3-liter engine and an automatic transmission.

Ferrari has unveiled the latest version of its Portofino convertible grand tourer, the Ferrari Portofino M. The 2+2 has a new twin-turbo V8 engine that displaces 3.9-liters. The new engine uses turbos that can spin much faster than in past models, allowing it to produce 612 horsepower an increase of 21 hp.

GMC truck fans should be excited to hear that the 2021 Sierra 1500 and Sierra HD pickups have gained new technology to help drivers tow more safely. On top of an already impressive set of tech, the enhanced trailering available on Sierra models includes a Trailer Length Indicator.

Ford has revealed a new off-road focus package for the Ranger mid-size pickup called the Tremor Off-Road Package. The Tremor is as close to a Ranger Raptor as buyers stateside can get today. The automaker says that the package creates the most off-road-ready factory-built Ranger ever offered in the US.

When people need to move a large family, SUVs are all fine and good, but they aren’t always the most spacious or comfortable inside, and often the fuel economy leaves a lot to be desired. Some shoppers who don’t like SUVs still turn to minivans and one of the best and most popular is the Chrysler Pacifica, which has been revamped for 2021.

What you’re looking at is the first factory-made electrified Jeep Wrangler in the history of the venerable vehicle. While the off-roader is now greener and can drive up to 25 miles on electricity alone, it still features the same off-road Trail Rated capabilities as other Wrangler models.

Gearheads thinking about buying a Civic Type R now have another variant to consider now with Honda’s announcement of the 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition. The vehicle comes coated in an exclusive Phoenix Yellow color.

The guys at Hennessey have put out some crazy vehicles over the years, including the VelociRaptor 6×6 and Goliath 6×6 pickups with dual axles in the rear. The company is now gearing up to produce its most insane pickup ever called the Mammoth 6×6.

Dodge has unveiled the MSRP for every version of the 2021 Charger from the entry-level V6 version all the way up to the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody. The entry-level Charger starts at $29,995.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume has announced that the automaker is delaying the Cross Turismo version of the Taycan electric sports car. Blume said the company isn’t canceling the project. The company just wants to focus their efforts on producing the regular Taycan models that are already available and have been extremely popular with both buyers and reviewers.

Made from 2009 to 2015, the first-generation Toyota Venza established a small, but loyal following. But its squashed minivan styling limited its appeal in a market that was moving towards the car-like character of crossovers. Thus, the Venza went away back in 2015.

One of the coolest sports cars out there is the Nissan GT-R. Japanese automaker Nissan has now announced the official pricing for the 2021 GT-R Premium and GT-R NISMO. The Premium starts at $113,540, while the NISMO starts at a whopping $210,740.

Toyota has announced the official pricing for its mid-sized Tacoma pickup. The range is vast for 2021, with the ability to spec out a truck in one of 33 different configurations. Returning trim levels include the TRD Sport and TRD Pro.

Mazda makes some very attractive and fun to drive vehicles that buyers sadly often overlook. The Japanese automaker has announced the official starting prices for the 2021 Mazda CX-9 three-row crossover. The vehicle offers some small visual updates, as well as safety and tech upgrades.

A few years back, I had the opportunity to check out the Ram Rebel TRX Concept at the Chicago Auto Show Concept and Technology Garage, where I gazed upon its shiny red trimmings, and enveloped my ears in its impressive exhaust note.
